Shampoos are also effective in killing ticks for short duration. Basically shampoo assists in cleaning eggs and dirt from the coat. Using shampoo then dipping or using a spray is the best strategy for best results.

This works well to quickly kill ticks or they prevent eggs from hatching out later. Alcohol-based sprays and water-based sprays are available but alcohol-based sprays work best. Topical Sprays can be used along with dipping or with topical and systemic medications.

Tick collars can help kill and repel ticks. Some Poor quality collars may be toxic to your dog, and can irritate the skin on the neck of your pet, so prefer branded products.
